Determined to put an end to the incessant power outage
experienced at the state secretariat and other government establishments, the
Ogun State Government is soon to commission a 10 mega watt mini power plant,
located at Onijoganjogan, Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.
The Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure,
Olamilekan Adegbite, who disclosed to newsmen in Abeokuta, said the project,
when completed,would in addition to boost power supply to government
establishments also power street lights in the state.
The plant, he added, will serve government
establishments, like quarters, hospitals, model schools, secretariat and the
powering of street lights.
He revealed that the old mini power plant was
installed before the inception of the present administration in 2011,
explaining that it had three mega watt and could only serve five hours.
Adegbite promised that a similar power plant would
also be established at other major cities in the state, noting that the project
is a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with a legislation to back up its
sustainability.
